Baked Beef Stew

This meal takes a long time to cook, but the prep is fast, so I like to do it on Sundays before we go to church.




Baked Beef Stew



1 pound stew meat (I buy it already chopped to save time, but if you could buy it whole and chop it into chunks yourself)

2 tsp. salt

1 Tbsp. sugar

2 1/2 Tbsp. minute tapioca

black pepper to taste (I do about 1/2 - 1 tsp, but I really like pepper)

5 potatoes, peeled and chopped

1 large onion, peeled and chopped
5 carrots, peeled and chopped

2-3 celery stalks, chopped

1 can of V-8 juice



Preheat oven to 250. Place meat in roasting pan. Mix salt, tapioca, sugar, and pepper together and pour over meat. Add veggies and pour V-8 juice over all. Cover and bake for 5 hours.
